But is there any difference that changes because of the english sparrow, fire ants, SHBs, pythons and boas in the Everglades? While I still see a lot of native pollinators here in TN, that doesn't mean that there is a problem in Europe. Bees have not been in N. American as long as bees in Europe. Will it change here in another 100 years or so. But I do realize that there are great differences the flora and fauna in the US versa Europe. -- De Colores, Ken Kizer Gamecock Apiaries 2707 Coleman Hill Rd Rockvale, TN *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
